Red Dead Redemption is a Masterpiece

[QUOTE="turtlethetaffer"]

So soyu're complaining about how the hub part of Hyrule never changed? Because outside of every dungeon is a new area. But whatever.

I'll re ask my question; when did atmosphere become so important in non horror games?

Really? Because I've never even considered it before stepping foot into this forum.

This.

HOw is Ocarina of Time's world repetitive. I am a stickler for interesting and diverse environments, and OoT nailed it. Every place looks unique and each have their own feel. Even if its a grassy field to a lake surrounded by grass there is a huge difference. I honestly do no know how anyone could say OoT has repetitive environments.

[QUOTE="turtlethetaffer"]

[QUOTE="Captainqwark10"] Our definitions of Atmosphere must be different or we are thinking of different words because the whole OoT games had areas that looked like I had seen it before. I will add this only implies to areas outside most vilages. However, that is where you spend the majority of the game.Captainqwark10

Dude... I think you and I played a different game. The areas inside, outside and around dungeons are various, but whatever.

[QUOTE="Sushiglutton"] Atmosphere is obv important in action adventure games and RPGs. I don't think that's something new.Sushiglutton

I just don't see why atmosphere could be so important.

Red Dead Redemption is mediocre.

[QUOTE="turtlethetaffer"]

[QUOTE="Sushiglutton"] That's fine, we all have different priorities. Maybe I have low atmosphere standards :P. I think Assassin's Creed, Batman and RDR all have great, but very different, atmosphere.Sushiglutton

Maybe it's just me but I don't care if I'm a part of the world or not. In the end, it all boils down to gameplay.

I enjoyed it alot personally, much better then the last GTA.

I got midway through but was bored out my skull and didnt bother to finish it, just felt too much like gta4 with horses; scenery was gorgeous I will give it that.

It's worthy of a 9 or a 10, the greatest western game ever made.

Far from it.Randoggy

Great game? Yes.

One of the Best of All-Time? Not IMO

GTA4 is better.

Unfortunatley for that argument, that's not saying much, because there haven't been a huge number of western games. And, to be honest, I had more fun with Red steel 2 than I did with RDR.

I haven't heard of too many, but I could be wrong. It does happen, and I'll admit it if I am. And by western games I mean games set in the west like RDR.

It was good but nowhere near as good as GTA 4 or Zelda OOT

It was my GOTY over Mass Effect 2 because of the ending. RDR's ending "hit" me.

It was close but not quite.

Yep, one of the best games this gen.

Its as big as masterpiece as UC2 or ME2.Even bigger.

no the game is insanely repetitive, it has great atmosphere and storyline but it got dull and boring pretty fast. still better then ocarina of time though

[QUOTE="Captainqwark10"] Western gaming has been the largest gaming market since video games started WTF are you talking about?Captainqwark10

Ok as long as we didn't have some miscommunication thing or whatever.

I honestly didn't know that there were more than I though, the most I've heard of is Red Dead games, the Call of Juarez games, and GUN.

What's with the OoT hate lately? Someone whom I agree with on another thread already said that hating on OoT is trollish.

It's a good game, not awesome though.

Yes, Western as in setting. We cleared it up.

Wasn't even the best game of it's year.

I recently completed it as well. While I loved that game and thought that it was great especially the open world. In my mind I kept comparing it to Zelda. the game reminded my of it, but something was missing. I'm not sure what to call what was missing, maybe a soul, a feeling of life, love from the devolpers. I don't know what it was but something was missing

I thought it was ok. Impressive as hell (like many Rockstar games), but in terms of gameplay.. it was ok and I'll just leave it at that.

There were quite a few better games to come out last year though, and the only one I felt was a masterpiece was SMG2.

No it's not. Not even close.

Red Dead Redemption is one of the best games i have played this generation, but better than Ocarina of Time? You must be crazy :)

I really really liked it, but it didn't have quite enough of an impact on me for me to consider it a "masterpiece".

ME2 says hi.

When info of this game first started coming up I was extremly hyped(I love rockstar, I love the wild west, and i love free roaming adventure). But when I played it I was dissapointed(probably my fault for hyping it to death). I still greatly enjoyed it but it was not a masterpiece imo.

I believe it is.

To everyone else:

It is still one of my favorite games of this gen though.

On topic, is RDR an absolutely awesome game? Hell yes. Better tha Oot? Debatable.

Opinions are great...and it was my opinion that RDR was a bore-fest about half way into the game. Same missions over, and over. Hardly a masterpiece.

[spoiler] It was even worse once you went back to the farm and started doing the stupid ranch hand missions. Also only a brain dead nat couldn't see that predictable ending coming. [/spoiler]
